Business Continuity Management & Sustainability Reporting

Sustainable business is smart business. A strategic approach to long-term material risks and opportunities can make companies more resilient, more innovative and more attractive to investors, customers and potential employees.

Businesses do not operate alone. They both have an impact on, and are impacted by, their wider social, economic and environmental context. An understanding of these impacts, and the stakeholders who are impacted, is vital to understanding the business case for sustainability. Every organization is unique. But each should be able to articulate a clear commercial rationale for acting on responsibility and sustainability issues.

Business continuity management is the glue that cohesively puts together sustainability into a robust program for organizations to realize four broad benefits, i.e. reputation and relationships, cost savings and efficiencies, risks and resilience, and innovation and insights. Sustainability issues present both risks and opportunities to organizations. By minimizing and mitigating risks, while maximizing and leveraging opportunities, organizations can create long-term business value.

This workshop is relevant to organizations that are considering reporting, either within the Annual Report, or as a separate standalone Sustainability Report.

At the end of the programme, participants are expected to BE ABLE to:

• Understand the concept and apply the components of sustainability framework
